Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Then Qin Beihuang also got on the carriage.

The four of them rode in a carriage towards Kyoto.

Qin Beihuang followed her here, but where is Qin Shuangchi?

Considering that there was a prisoner present, Jiang Ningwan did not ask.

This place is so remote, he shouldn't be passing by here.

They returned to Kyoto City before Lu Lingsong. It was already late at night and the wind was bitingly cold.

The prisoner was transferred to the government jail. Qin Shuangchi went to the palace to report the situation, while Jiang Ningwan returned to the general's mansion.

Qin Beihuang's injuries had not yet healed, and because of this trip, his injuries had worsened and he walked slowly.

Unable to catch up with Jiang Ningwan, he shouted, "Jiang Ningwan, stop!"

"Tell me clearly, where did you get the news from?" Qin Beihuang was full of confusion and wanted to find out urgently.

Jiang Ningwan was extremely annoyed.

"I'm too lazy to explain to you, and you don't have to care about me so much. If Lu Qingheng knew about this, I'm afraid he would use the blood-draining grass to harm me."

After saying that, she turned and left.

"Didn't you frame Qingheng with the Xuejiecao? Qingheng would never do such a cruel thing! You are such a scheming woman. Do you think you can replace Qingheng by imitating her?" Qin Beihuang was a little exasperated.

Although he didn't know why he was so angry, it was as if he had been deceived by Jiang Ningwan for too long, and only today did he see her true self, which was much more powerful than he had imagined.

But he didn't want to admit it.

"I, Jiang Ningwan, am unique in the world. Who the hell is Lu Qingheng? Do I want to replace her? She is a treasure in your heart, but she is worthless to me."

"Qin Beihuang, I saved your life today, and this is how you treat your savior? General Xuanwei? Nothing more."

She scoffed and turned away.

Qin Beihuang froze in place, unable to calm down for a long time.

All that was in his mind was the image of her fighting with a spear in hand today, fierce, powerful, bright and flamboyant.

Coming back to his senses, he shook his head fiercely.

Can't think about it anymore.

Otherwise, you'll fall into Jiang Ningwan's trap! —

Early the next morning.

Lu Lingsong successfully suppressed the bandits and returned victoriously. The people lined the streets to cheer and threw vegetable leaves at the bandits in the prison van.

The streets were bustling.

Jiang Ningwan got up early, thinking that Lu Lingsong might not know that the bandit leader had been captured, so she planned to go to the government office to see what was going on.

But at this time, someone came from the palace and said, "Princess, the Emperor wants to see you."

Jiang Ningwan was delighted.

The emperor finally agreed to see her!

Jiang Ningwan suppressed her excitement and remained calm. She thought over and over again along the way: if she could exchange this merit and the Golden Crane Jade Pendant for an imperial decree to divorce her husband, would she be able to get it?

The Queen Mother's words echoed in her mind again and again.

Today's contribution is too small to be compared with Qin Beihuang.

If she offered the golden crane jade pendant, she might be able to obtain an imperial decree to divorce her husband, but the emperor would definitely be very upset about it.

After divorcing her husband, she still had a long way to go and could not directly offend the emperor.

Let’s proceed step by step. —

Royal study room.

Jiang Ningwan had just arrived when Lu Lingsong was also invited.

"Your Majesty, this bandit suppression campaign was a success. All the Fenghuoshan bandits have been apprehended and handed over to the government jail!" Lu Lingsong was in high spirits and confident.

The emperor's expression showed no emotion, and he said calmly, "Are you sure there isn't a single fish that slipped through the net?"

"I'm certain! The net on Fenghuo Mountain is so tight that not even a fly can escape!"

"Then how did Jiang Ningwan capture the leader of Fenghuo Village?"

As soon as he said this, Lu Lingsong looked at Jiang Ningwan in shock.

"What? Big Boss?"

Jiang Ningwan replied, "Yes, General Lu was suppressing bandits, and I wanted to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, at the foot of the steep cliff, I saw a bandit letting out a rope and escaping. I took the opportunity to capture him, and I didn't expect that he was the leader of Fenghuo Village."

Lu Lingsong's face turned pale instantly.

He looked a little flustered.

He quickly said: "This matter...I don't know either..."

Qin Shuangchi interrupted coldly, "General Lu, the boss has confessed everything. I heard him say with my own ears that he made a deal with you, deliberately letting him go and giving him a large amount of gold."

In an instant, it was as if a thunder struck Lu Lingsong's head.

"Your Majesty, I did have a deal with him, but I've made arrangements and will capture him after everything is done!"

The Emperor clearly didn't believe it, but he didn't intend to pursue the matter further. "You should know that military law is strict. As a general protecting the country, it's really inappropriate for you to make such a mistake! You have made great contributions in suppressing the bandits this time, so let's offset your mistakes."

"Your Majesty!" Lu Lingsong was extremely anxious. He was anxious to make this achievement in order to get his sister reinstated!

"Go down." The emperor said in a cold tone.

"I...will take my leave!" Lu Lingsong gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang Ningwan as he left.

It's Jiang Ningwan who ruined his plans again!

"Jiang Ningwan, I heard from Wenli that you specially took out part of your dowry for him to go to the south to help the victims. I am very pleased that you have such a heart. I was thinking of rewarding you. Today you even captured a bandit leader. You are just a woman, but you should not be underestimated." The emperor's tone rose and he was in a very good mood.

"I am just doing my best." Jiang Ningwan answered modestly.

"Old Sixteen said that the bandit's martial arts skills were extremely strong. You were able to defeat him in a single fight. You are truly skilled! You are both brave and resourceful. I underestimated you before."

The emperor praised Jiang Ningwan so much because he thought about how he had refused to see her twice before, and how Jiang Ningwan had suffered in the Qin family and almost lost her life, so he felt a little guilty.

There are not many women in Daning Kingdom who are so sensible and capable.

Jiang Ningwan remained unfazed by praise or criticism, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

"You have made a contribution this time. Do you have anything to ask for?" The emperor asked this question with some concern.

What if Jiang Ningwan's conditions were not met?

"Since Your Majesty has spoken, then this humble servant does have a request! If I have caused Your Majesty any displeasure, please forgive me!"

The emperor's face darkened and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

It's that same thing again...

"I want the Ling family's original mansion! The Ling family is guilty, but the Ling family mansion holds many memories for me, and I want to keep it as a souvenir."

Hearing this, the emperor was shocked.

"You want the Ling family mansion? That's all?"

"Yes!"

The emperor heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "How difficult is that? The Ling family mansion is a reward for you!"

Jiang Ningwan's anxious heart finally settled down a little. Judging from the emperor's reaction, it was right not to mention the divorce letter.

First, take back the Ling family’s house, and she can move in to stay away from the Qin family.

"Your Majesty, I have another request."

"I want to live alone in the Ling family mansion. I beg the emperor to grant my permission!"

Hearing this, the emperor was slightly surprised and immediately understood what she meant.

Lu Qingheng used the Sanguisorba officinalis to harm her. Who wouldn't be scared? She wanted to go back to the Ling family mansion specifically, probably because she wanted to live separately from the Qin family.

This trivial request showed that the girl was smart and knew when to act, so he didn't have to feel embarrassed.

"Okay, I'm sure!"
